Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 J.J. McCarthy [Zebra Prizm Shock] #134 sells for $461 against $112 raw: a $349 spread, 4.1× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($384) clears the raw price after an economy-tier ~$25 fee, so a near-miss still comes out ahead. Centering is the usual reason a clean copy misses the 10 — measure it before you submit.
